The Tokushima Expressway (徳島自動車道, Tokushima Jidōsha-dō) is a national expressway in the Shikoku region of Japan. The expressway is numbered E11 between Naruto and Tokushima Junctions and E32 between Tokushima and Kawanoe-Higashi Junctions under the MLIT's "2016 Proposal for Realization of Expressway Numbering.[1]

Overview

[edit]

The first section of the Takamatsu Expressway to open was between Aizumi and Wakimachi interchanges on 17 March 1994. The final section of the expressway (21.5 km between Ikawa-Ikeda Interchange and Kawanoe-Higashi Junction) was opened on 11 March 2000.

The route is 2 lanes for its entire length, with some overtaking areas. The speed limit is 70 km/h.

List of interchanges and features

Kilometer markers between Naruto Junction and Tokushima Interchange show the distance from Naruto Junction plus 300 (the marker at Naruto Junction is 300.0 while the marker at Tokushima Interchange is 310.1). Therefore, the distance numbers reset at the Tokushima Interchange, starting at 0.1 kilometres (0.062 mi).
